Well, I’m not sure if the throphy should be limited to either thread or post. But if thread, obviously it can only win once.
Now, make no mistake, I enjoy this thread immensely, to the point that I even DM’ed the OP out of the blue telling him so! (A bad stalker-like habit I picked up god knows where.) i got a positive response though so I can hardly have offended.

This summer, as a present to myself for being promoted, I purchased a collection of thin sections that I believe comprise the research materials of Prof. Rob Verschure, who at the time was faculty in the Geological Institute in Amsterdam.
What changed this purchase from eccentric (although, at $2 per sample, also very affordable) to something more elevated is...
What I
really love about it is the first statement in the first post:
I enjoy each and every picture (and trying to read the text) but as far as the accompanying text is concerned I might as well have tried to read Herman Weyl's "The Theory of Groups and Quantum Mechanics" straight out of elementary school. YMMV of course. I realize you're not all as dumb as me!
reaction emoji, so we can use these on the winners.
